Jane Scarth House, a local cancer support centre, based in Romsey, has been working with Abbotswood Court Care Home which has made it possible to provide regular Macmillan HOPE Courses and help people who have been affected by cancer to move on with their lives.

The 2-day Helping Overcome Problems Effectively (HOPE) course is a licensed programme developed by Coventry University and Macmillan Cancer Support which helps people in coping emotionally, psychologically and practically with the effects of cancer. Abbotswood Court Care Home has been aiding Jane Scarth House in the delivery of these courses by providing its state-of-the-art facilities, as well as refreshments, free of charge so that the charity’s trained HOPE facilitators can deliver the course to those who live within reach of Romsey.

Anne Campbell, Jane Scarth House Centre Manager, said:

Having the backing of Abbotswood Court is an absolute blessing. Their generous support has significantly reduced the cost to the charity of providing these courses. These funds can therefore be used toprovide free emotional and practical aid to anyone whose life is affected by cancer. Abbotswood Court’s convenient location and parking facilities make it an ideal location from which to deliver these courses.

Abbotswood Court has been aiding Jane Scarth house in the delivery of the HOPE courses for almost three years. The next HOPE Carers’ course is set for the 19th November 2018and will take place between 10 am to 1 pm. The care home has also supported fundraising for Jane Scarth House on a number of occasions as well as raising awareness of the charity through their community events.

We are pleased to support Jane Scarth House in the delivery of these invaluable courses. Many of our staff, residents, and their families have been affected by cancer in some way so if our facilities can benefit others impacted by cancer we will do all we can to help them.

Situated in Romsey, Abbotswood Court is part of the Cinnamon Care Collection group of luxury care homes. For more information about the care, accommodation and services Abbotswood Court provide, click here.
